5A All-Idaho boys basketball team: The top 10 players from the state’s top division

Note: The All-Idaho teams are chosen by each classification’s coaches. The Idaho Statesman hosts the voting process and publishes the results.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR: LIAM CAMPBELL, OWYHEE

The pick: Already a two-time first-team selection, the 6-5 senior guard wrapped up his career with the top honor. He led the Storm to their second state title and a 21-0 record vs. Idaho teams, averaging 16.8 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 49% from the floor and 40% on 3-pointers.

Coach’s comment: “With the balance of our team, Liam sacrificed scoring by letting the game come to him and playing team basketball. ... He will go out as one of the best players to come out of our state, ever,” Owyhee coach Andy Harrington said.

What others are saying: “He was impossible to guard. He can score at all three levels. And if he gets to his spot, it’s a bucket,” Mountain View coach Jon Nettleton said.

What’s next: The four-star recruit has signed with USC.

JACKSON RASMUSSEN, OWYHEE

The 6-7 junior forward already had a second-team selection under his belt. But he took his game to the next level over the winter. He averaged 14.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 58% from the floor, and he was unguardable at state.

NASH HUMPHERYS, MADISON

Another junior making his second appearance on the all-state team, the 5-11 point guard served as the floor general for the Bobcats and made everyone look better with his pinpoint passes. He averaged 19.7 points, 4.6 assists and 3.0 steals as Madison finished third at state.

BERRETT WILSON, MADISON

The 6-6 senior wing had his hand in everything, guarding all five positions, scoring at all three levels and even running the point. His stat line proved it as he finished with 16.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 62% from the floor.

LOGAN ORCHARD, COEUR D’ALENE

The Eastern Oregon commit led the Vikings to state for the first time since 2012. He led the classification in assists (5.8 per game), served as his team’s lockdown defender and was an unquestioned leader while averaging 11.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks.

COACH OF THE YEAR: TRAVIS NOBLE, TIMBERLINE

He led the Wolves to their second state title game and tied the single-season program record for wins (22).
